clarification re unknowm waste

[Ninni Jacob <njacob@gsosun1.gso.uri.edu>]

I need to clarify the fact  that we know the items in the drum, namely
gloves, paper towels, irradiated sample holders, etc.
What we need to characterise is just the isotopes and activities.
Obviously the activity is very low. It is not practical to put down an
exact activity when these kind of items are thrown into rad trash by the
researchers.
